The JB Fellowship

A JB Fellow is a creative professional at the interface of climate/sustainability and culture.

Over the last decade there has been a rapid rise in cultural practice that is sustainable. At the same time our encounters with other sustainable ideas and approaches, and the demand for our work, has significantly increased. As a result we are developing a comprehensive programme of professional development and accreditation that will

Strengthen and accelerate the development of a creative movement powering the sustainability revolution through skills and networking

Legitimise and locate this movement, recognising that the new cultural economy will be driven by sustainable values, goods, services, stories, companies, skills, practitioners and art.

We already work with many of the people powering this movement. And though Creative Climate Leadership, we are discovering many more.

The new cultural economy needs to recognise and create opportunities for sustainable cultural entrepreneurs and artists. The JB Fellowship will support the skills, learning and networks to make this happen.
